Piggy-backing on your post - Are the new regulations for England
and Wales only, or will they apply to Scotland as well?

I don't pretend to know the details but electrical installations
have been part of the Scottish Building Regs for a long while
(though at a pure guess perhaps only when part of a larger job).
From a quick Google:

"8. IS IT NECESSARY TO OBTAIN A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION WHEN MY
BUILDING WORK IS FINISHED?

Yes. You should complete and return to your local authority an
application for a certificate of completion, together with a
certificate of compliance for the electrical installation where
appropriate when the warrant work is complete"

So this would suggest that if you build something like an extension
they will want to see a test certificate

You can do this test certificate yourself though.
